Gogi Aparatus
I walk around this cell ..
silver bars beaming round.
I have a dream and it’s profound.
Elegant breeze in the air fills my heart with freedom when I’m bare.
Essentials tied tightly like a chain, I resist, the more the tightened stain.
Strained, stained battle from within, my eyes open grimly as I skim..
the room for signs of vitality, bright memories, an escape from reality.
I listen closely for familiar waves of freedom, happiness, and a spark of light.
Luminating inside, overtaking the dark blight.
